CORR/PAK MERCHANDISING SPRINT CARS

Heat races for the 24 car field were claimed by Jim Huppunen, Glenn Styres, and Travis Cunningham, while Mitch Brown won the Nathan Ackland State Farm Insurance “Top Gun” award for accruing the most heat race passing points.

AFFORDABLE TOWING & RECOVERY THUNDER STOCKS A wild Thunder Stock feature with several incidents involving top drivers in the standings eventually turned into a duel between Jack Myers and Rob Murray for the feature win.
